    There was like ...7 stories being progressed in that finale, it was amazing to watch.

    The AEW was great.

    "The Inner Circle", though? Ugh. Feels only slightly better than the terrible RoH faction names to me.

    Its not a great name, but I 100% believe Jericho came up with it and thinks its awesome.

    It sounds like a terrible alliance name people on Big Brother would come up with. Like "No one knows we're running the Big Brother house this summer except the five of us in the Inner Circle" and then CBS would put up #innercirclebb22 in the lower corner of the screen.

    Also, I wish that one guy would keep his tongue in his mouth. It's not even a good gimmick, it just looks stupid and embarrassing.

    The Inner Circle is no worse of a faction name than The Nexus or New World Order or The Undisputed Era or Degeneration X

    Wrestling has bad names!

    The only good famous faction name is The Four Horsemen!

    I really liked Absolution as a name, dunno if they can be considered a stable tho

  • Sweeney TomSweeney Tom Registered User regular
    At least they got a cool looking shirt already out of the Inner Circle. Most stables don't even get that

    Dgeneration X is a great name. And I love nwo and bullet club.

    I'm fine with the name but tongue guy was too much. It wasn't cool when it's all Miley Cyrus did and it looked even worse here.

    Degeneration X sounds like what a bunch of 45 year old marketing guys hopped up on uppers would come up with if told to make something that would appeal to THE EDGY YOUTH

    Which is probably close to what happened

    I think your opinion is colored by time and distance. Degeneration X, now? It sucks. Degeneration X was a fantastic name for the time period in which it appeared and obviously landed huge, given history.

    Inner Circle is a bad band name and I think Magell is totally on point with how it came about.

    These are live shows. I don't think it's particularly realistic to expect spoiler tags in here about what happens during them.

    Canada doesn’t get NXT live, we have to wait a day.

    Addendum to this, there's also a bunch of guys involved in the title picture at the same time and people you think are scripted to win the matches often go the opposite way. Tag teams interact with singles stars and everything. I really love the way they are handling things so far. I assume they will wait until the World Title is well established before introducing a mid-tier belt.

    i have decided that the only wwe canon i will accept is the one in my current supercard deck

    where the top two ladies are io shirai and a skeletal alexa bliss

    and the four dudes at the top of the card are the corpse of pete dunne, stone cold steve austin, matt riddle, and samoa joe

    On the one hand, wow petty.

    On the other hand, I can't imagine WWE was wanting to see "WWE copies AEW by having Jay and Silent Bob show up" as an online narrative.

    They still could've let them come to the show and just not shown them or plugged the movie, so the cancellation is pretty damn petty.

    Much like then NXT Champ Tomasso Ciampa not being in last year's game at all despite being in the previous one.

    I would not be surprised if they were offering lower royalties to NXT people still despite them being the third brand now

    When it comes to the WWE games, I'm not sure if it's cheap-bastardness on WWE's part or total incompetence and laziness on 2K's part or just mutual greed on both parts.

    I mean, I saw Adam Cole's 2K Nightmare Face from this year. Someone made that, then someone okayed it.

    Draft rules
    WWE has also announced the official rules for the 2019 Draft. They noted that more than 70 Superstars will be eligible for selection. SmackDown will draft 30 Superstars while RAW will draft 41 Superstars. For every two picks SmackDown receives, RAW will receive three, because RAW is a three-hour show. Tag teams will count as one pick unless FOX or the USA Network specifically wants to pick only one Superstar from that team. WWE will declare any undrafted Superstars as free agents, and they will be able to sign with the brand of their choosing.

    Don't worry if that sounds boring though, the stars of the best feud of 2019 are coming back. Michael Che and Colin Jost.
    Stars announced for the Draft include WrestleMania 35 stars Michael Che and Colin Jost of SNL, NFL legend Troy Aikman, MLB legend Alex Rodriguez, actor Christian Slater, and many others.

    I've yet to watch NXT but the mind reels at the possibilities this lays out.
